This is Julie who ticked off one of her bucket-list items by feeding the reindeer of the Cairngorm herd. We had a lovely couple of days on tour together but this was definitely the highlight of her Scotland trip! We are so glad we could make it happen for her!

Thought I’d take advantage of a day off to get some photos of the dogs amongst the bluebells in the forest. It was supposed to be a relaxing day out but turns out it is actually easier to meticulously plan a 14 day itinerary for 6 people than it is to get these two to sit down for 30 seconds!

Tough one in the office today! 😜

Join us at Lindores Abbey Distillery for a night to remember! On the 9th of May, Lindores Abbey opens its doors for the special ‘Burning of the Bear’ event, which features a BBQ, live music, distillery tours, and much more - along with the iconic fire on the overlooking hillside. To make this day complete, we are pairing it with a full tour starting at noon, with pickup & drop off in Edinburgh, and a tour around Fife’s quaint fishing villages before we arrive at the distillery for the event at 4pm. If you would like to join us for this unique tour, please send us a message or shoot an email over to [email protected]!

We had a lovely trip with Mary and Beverley this past weekend! It was delightful to show them around the highlands, and it’s fair to say these two got their share of proper Scottish weather too! Thank you for coming guys!

The Kelpies are a beloved sculpture located right at the heart of central Scotland. Opened in 2014, the colossal horses have consolidated themselves as a landmark near Falkirk and an iconic roadside feature along one of Scotland’s busiest motorways. But the story behind the Kelpies is much deeper than just a pair of spectacular structures:

- Kelpies were mythical shape-shifting beings in Scottish folklore. Found inhabiting lochs and rivers, these beasts are believed to have the ability to transform themselves between their true “water horse” shape and handsome men. 🦄

- Folklore aside, the sculptures were also inspired by the working Clydesdale Horses of Scotland’s past - particularly the horses that worked along the Forth and Clyde canal which would tow barges through the country. 🐎

- Being situated right alongside of the M9 motorway, the Kelpies make for an excellent stop for any traveller passing by. 🛣️

If you fancy to learn about the Kelpies and more of Scotland’s mythical beasts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

Do you know why many castles are located right on rough coastline? In a time when wars were fought with swords and arrows, building a castle on a piece of elevated coastline was the perfect defence. Dunnottar Castle is a perfect example of this, and its rich history of being an important and sought after fortification testifies to this.

- The earliest known structure at Dunnottar is thought to be a chapel constructed in the 5th century, by St Ninian who used the site as a base to convert the Picts to Christianity. ✝️

- Donald II, grandson of Kenneth MacAlpin, the first “King of Alba” was killed here in a Viking invasion in the early 900’s. ⛵️

- During the Wars of Independence, the castle changed hands between the Scottish and English armies. Its defensive position was excellent in repelling attack, with the steep cliffs surrounding the castle claiming many lives. ⚔️

The castle is located near Stonehaven, south of Aberdeen. It’s a fantastic site which blends incredible landscape and rich history, and is a fantastic bucket-list castle for any lover of Scottish history! If you would like to visit the castle accompanied by our very own medieval historian Cheryl, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!

The Hermitage, near Dunkeld, is one of Scotland’s most magical woodland walks:

- The white waters of the river Braan run through the forest where the water cascades over the impressive Black Linn Falls. This can be viewed from the iconic viewpoint of Ossian’s Hall, an 18th century folly built to overlook the falls 💦

- The pleasant smell of the fresh and earthy pine forest carries along the trails, and as you gaze upwards, you will see the towering Douglas Firs, planted here in the 18th century and now some of the tallest trees in the UK 🌲

- Rich wildlife can be sighted here: the beloved Red Squirrel can be seen amongst the trees in the forest, and in autumn salmon can be seen leaping upstream and over the falls! 🐟

Not even a couple of hours from the big cities, Perthshire makes for the perfect day trip from Edinburgh or Glasgow and it’s easy to get lost in this other world when wandering around its beautiful forests. If you would like to explore this region for yourself, please feel free to get in touch with us - our guides would love to show you around!
